Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
1 answer:
5x + 2y = 7
-5x + 4y = 5
You can immediately eliminate the x-terms and subtract:
2y = 7
4y = 5
-_____
-2y = 2
y = -1
Substitute back to find x:
-5x + 4y = 5
5x + 4(-1) = 5
5x - 4 = 5
5x = 9
x = 1.8
Finally, substitute back to check your work:
5x + 2y = 7 => 5(1.8) + 2(-1) = 7 => 9 - 2 = 7 <--True
-5x + 4y = 5 => -5(1.8) + 4(-1) = 5 => -9 - 4 = 5 <--False

=40²-2(40)(8)+8²
=1600-640+64
=1664-640
=1024
also 32²=1024
